Full Flight Tutorial by REAL BOEING 737 PILOT | Liverpool - Glasgow | ZIBO MOD | X-Plane 11

Join me in Liverpool (EGGP/LPL) as we use the excellent freeware ZIBO MOD for the default 737 (Version 3.24u) in X Plane 11 for a short sector to Glasgow (EGPF/GLA). Prior to Engine Start we’ll step through the Taxi Routing, SID and Takeoff Performance all using real world procedures and techniques.
Full Flight Sim tutorials are flown live time and live weather. This allows me to show you real guidance on how we fly certain approaches using a variety of techniques. The Weather in Liverpool…
EGGP - 180/18 9000 -RA SCT020 BKN026 05/04 Q1005
We’ll push from Stand 40 and Taxi via W and A to depart off RW27 and fly the POL 4T SID
After TOC on this very short sector I’ll give you a full Approach Briefing for ILS 23 In Glasgow and step through what you need to setup for a typical ILS approach. Today I’ll be vectoring myself at the termination of the LANAK 2A STAR. The briefing will Include the Landing Performance calculation using the Boeing OPT App.
It’s a typical February in Scotland!
EGPF - 250/18G28 5000 -RA SCT020 BKN008 08/04 Q1000
Throughout the latter stage of the approach I’ll show you how to manipulate the MCP to try and maintain a continuous decent onto an ILS. We’ll fly the Approach to a Landing, clean up the aircraft and taxi onto stand!
Any questions feel free to ask!

Hi Chaps, Firstly, thanks for all the positive comments and messages regarding this tutorial using the excellent ZIBO freeware MOD for the 737-800 on my first outing with X-Plane. As many of you’re commenting and asking very similar questions I’ll try and answer the most FAQ’s here! 1. Is X-Plane 11 better than FSX/P3D? I've never tried P3D but I've been told the FM is the same as FSX's. After only logging around 10 hours on the X-Plane platform the sim, in my opinion, is miles ahead of FSX. Just from a general user point of view, a fresh vanilla installation of XP 11 if far better than my propped-up version of FSX Steam with a host of weather engines, texture updates and pay ware scenery. (I am no way affiliated, just my honest humble opinion!) I’ve been flying for 13 years in real life and used MSFS for almost 20 years. I’ve flown gliders, single and multi-engine light aircraft and the 737NG. Comparable aircraft in X-Plane 11 react and handle in a very similar way. Small things like ground effect, the way aircraft reacts to external forces, X-Plane models flight in a way more akin to real life and it feels like you’re flying through air! 2. What’s better? ZIBO or NGX? I genuinely have no preference. The NGX is obviously a complete product. It’s extremely immersive with all the systems modelled accurately and I’ve used it and will continue to use it for the foreseeable future. If you wanted to simulate every detail, practice non-normal situations as realistically as possible it's obviously the go to product! ZIBO MOD is still a WIP but even in the last month there has been a significant improvement in the FM and It feels pretty good to fly and not far off the real thing! A lot of work has gone in and will continue to go in to further improve the MOD. There is input from RW pilots, 737 pilots (including myself!) and with ZIBO’s unsurpassed dedication you’ll see this aircraft develop to a truly accurate replication of the NG. Lastly thank you for all the recommendations for addons of X-Plane 11. The sole purpose of this channel is to show you how to operate the 737-800 based on real world operating procedures with a little bit of humour and memes in-between. I will try some of your suggestions! One last note! I make a real conscious effort to answer all queries from KZbin video comments, FB Page messages, twitter, email and Instagram. In the last three months the amount of message I have received has increased tenfold. Please take the time to scroll the comments section in my videos before asking a question. I think I’ve had about 30 comments asking the same question in this very tutorial! You might find your query has already been answered! Nonetheless please feel free to ank a question if you can’t find what you’re looking for, I am here to help! You’ll be seeing both the NGX, ZIBO MOD and perhaps other aircraft in the future. All the best and thanks for watching! flightdeck2sim

[@richardroyal3563]

Great to see you doing this tutorial on the Zibo mod for those of us who have switched from FSX/P3D to x-plane. It was hard to be weaned off PMDG but to have someone like Zibo giving so much dedication for free, it makes the change worthwhile. BTW I have already cleaned up quite a number of errant taxi lights as they are terribly hard to dodge :) Better Pushback is a must as is Little Navmap (for flight following and even route planning). Both are free. I have been following your tutorials from day 1 & always wait in anticipation for the next. Thank you for your welcome contribution.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks a lot Richard and for the information regarding these plugins. You'll be seeing a mixture of ZIBO MOD and PMDG NGX tutorials in the future. FD2S

[@NeutralGenericUser]

Thank you so so so much for this excellent video, and thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge with us! I'm recently moving from FSX to XP11 and Zibo. I've flown the 737 in FSX for years, but this level of detail is entirely new to me. It is awesome that there are people like you with real life experience and training sharing their knowledge with us enthusiasts. Have a great day, and safe flying!

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks a lot! I'll still be returning to FSX and the NGX for some tutorials but yes, I do really like XP11! FD2S

[@GameAddict457]

I think is awesome that RW pilots help Zibo and the X-Plane community to have a top-notch 737. Thanks!

[@flightdeck2sim]

Well I have a lot to thank the flight simulation community for, I've been using it for 20 years and managed to get a job flying the real tin can! I'm just your everyday friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. FD2S

[@olivergarcia7043]

I really liked this video because apart from demonstrating the life of an airline pilot this days, it also showed me why i need to get X Plane 11 and this specific video also did persuade me to try out in the future to go to a aviation school to get my/ a certificate (degree) and head off towards an airline to start off with a daily job!!! p.s. THANK YOU FOR HAVING MAD THIS VIDEO, I REALLY DID ENJOY IT A LOT!!!!

[@flightdeck2sim]

I LOVE THE ENTHUSIASM! Work hard and good luck with your training! FD2S

[@gunnermatic1]

finally!! with x plane theres a few free and simple ways to sort it some stuff like that weird smoke out the back such as possibly pressing 'X' and theres an amazing addon called 'better pushback' which is free. This is funny also because it’s like zibo watched this video because he’s now just updated to have adf. The pace he adds new features is unbelievable.

[@vasily2022]

Simply amazing. I tend to think that I could really be a pilot after all my hours of flying (from FS2004/FS9, FSX, FSXSE, Xplane 10 and now X Plane 11), but then I watch your videos and realize that I am not doing things the right way. Even my rotation isn't as smooth as you make it look. I would much rather be in a plane flown by you than one flown by me, even a virtual plane. Everything is so smooth and under control. Very good videos man. Thanks for letting us WANNABEES learn from you.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi vasily202, thanks a lot! Practice makes perfect and don't despair, most simmers wouldn't know how to move the seat forward to reach the controls to fly the real aircraft but a lot can be learnt from using a desktop simulator. FD2S

[@BonanzaPilot]

I have watched two of your videos and have learned like 15 new things. Just started the Zibo yesterday! Thanks!

[@flightdeck2sim]

Awesome and welcome to the channel! FD2S

[@massimodalessandro9259]

Awesome!! Happy to have you aboard X-Plane! This was better than waiting for the new Star Wars movie to come out.

[@flightdeck2sim]

I would argue with that statement!!!! FD2S

[@timoradszun9830]

Thanks for all these informative videos! I can learn so much and make my simulator flight more and more realistic.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks Timo 👍🏼 FD2S

[@josephcorreia7779]

Thank you for your response. It is my opinion that what you are doing is very refreshing and welcome to the sim community. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy very much watching your videos and appreciate the opportunity to be able to improve on the knowledge that I have, specially coming from someone that actually flies this aircraft. Thanks for what you do.

[@flightdeck2sim]

No problem and your feedback is of course taken on board! FD2S

[@darryljude55]

Thank-you for the Zibo tutorial - more Zibo please - your videos are top notch!

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks Darryl, expect a mixture of PMDG and ZIBO MOD tutorials in the future. FD2S

[@DreamboyCAT]

Glad to see X-Plane 11 here! I changed from Prepar3D some time ago, and the only thing I really missed was the PMDG 737. Now the ZIBO 737 is starting to look great, and the simulator for me is way better. I use most of the time X-Plane 11 with IXEG 737, and it's amazing compared to my previous Prepar3D and PMDG 737 setup.

[@flightdeck2sim]

It’s definitely a superior sim! I must try this IXEG! FD2S

[@Steenos]

What an awesome video. I'm an ATCer in the US and a simmer. This is a great explanation of everything!

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks Justin, it's been a few years since I flew in the States! (I did a lot of hour building out of Goodyear AZ!) Take care! FD2S

[@mikepawlik3989]

there is atpl question according to wet rwy landings: increase app speed and land firmly:)

[@crazyblat]

"you can always go around" ;)

[@coolelbow123]

Super happy that your on XP11, too! I scrapped FSX and came to X-Plane 10, now using XP11 /w the Zibo 737 is awesome; although not "yet" PMDG standards, it's getting close - it's free after all! Also, great seeing you at LPL...virtually lol

[@flightdeck2sim]

Agreed, looking forward to seeing how the aircraft develops! FD2S

[@jackwoods3664]

Only came across your videos this week FD2S, but your videos have really helped me to familiarise myself with the 737 ahead of an assessment with a well known 737 operator in Dublin next week! Cheers.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Aha! Good Luck! FD2S

[@GavinCook194]

These videos are absolutely excellent. Thanks for sharing your professional knowledge with us!

[@flightdeck2sim]

You're most welcome gc_194 , have a great weekend! FD2S

[@DP-xz8xr]

Wow - just wow. I'm more of a "scenic" x-plane flyer (i.e, just get it up in the air and follow my nose!), but watching this video, has made me what to actually try and learn how to set-up, navigate and use the ILS to set-up an approach! Will defo be checking out more of your videos. Please keep this excellent work!

[@kieranharvey4576]

X-Plane is said to be more realistic for the way it is simulated instead of a set performance code for different conditions, it is modelled in plane maker and actually simulated the airflow around the plane to get realistic handling, if you model the plane really well it’s perfect

[@flightdeck2sim]

Even though I've logged less than 10 hours in X-Plane I've had a play round with a few aircraft and I would agree the way aircraft behave in the simulator is far more realistic. FD2S

[@Enzo-ek7zk]

Great to see you in x plane! I know it's quite hard to get a good landing in x plane but once you master it you enjoy the sim far better. Nice video as always keep up the great work!

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks enzo! I really enjoy using XP11, we’re back in the ZIBO MOD for the next tutorial! FD2S

[@jakeperl5857]

Thank you for this, and welcome to X-Plane! Your videos are a breath of fresh air on KZbin - the more I learn the more I realize how many of the 737 tutorials out there contain a lot of rubbish (and missing) instruction, as of course they are not taught by actual 737 pilots. Your videos are tempting me mightily to make the jump to PMDG but aargh I have so much invested in X-Plane! :) I will just try to follow along the best I can with the Zibo (which is no slouch) for now.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi Jacob and welcome! PMDG is excellent and it's worth while taking a look at but ZIBO MOD is certainly a good rendition of the NG. It's still improving and XP 11 for me feels like a much more realistic sim! I'll be still using the NGX for my tutorials! FD2S

[@viccabrales3091]

Absolutely love your contribution to our sim community. Your RW expertise brings so much to the immersion to make sure we all follow proper procedures. Keep up the great work Sir.

You're most welcome Vic Sim, hope you learnt something new! FD2S

[@houssameddinearidhi4436]

absolutely well done for a single pilot operations in a b737

😎 FD2S

[@IronCondorSimulations]

Nice video. As a real world pilot you now know that XP11 is the way to go! Crosswinds, ground effect, etc. So much nices in XP11.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Yes it does seem to "feel" like there is actual airflow when flying around, the way all the aircraft react too seems realistic on the whole! FD2S

[@camsteremail]

flightdeck2sim thank laminar research for the awesome flight dynamics. The reason x plane is so realistic is because it actually simulates be virtual airflow over the virtual aircraft unlike other sims. I had to retire p3d and much more expensive payware because x plane is just that good.

[@GarenEvans]

That was great - hope you will do more Zibo flights. X-Plane is the future.

[@demontraitor69]

Excellent, excellent, excellent video. Thank you! I want to fly as close to real as possible and you are helping me realise this!

Just out of practice that's all, I can assure you I'm a little better in real life! (sometimes) FD2S

[@pomaranc747]

If you are using the default AI aircraft you might consider turning them off, it just adds few aircraft flying randomly, but it affects the performance a lot. Anyway thanks for the video, great as always!

[@wesleyyin]

Holly sh**t, I am so impressed with you doing it on a Zibo.

It's a Solid FM and really not too far off the real thing. Still a WIP but excited to see how the aircraft develops. FD2S

[@wesleyyin]

Your endorsement means a huge lot to Zibo! Thank you.

[@KennyEvansUK]

This was great, soooooo much to know as a pilot. Lots of responsibility. I'm messing with xplane but having all sorts of fun just getting off the ground.

[@bernardbodart1531]

I wish you'd soon make a "From cold and dark to take off" video with Zibo 737. Presently I refer to your videos on PMDG while I learn flying the Zibo. It would be of great interest to get such a tutorial from a professional pilot.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi Bernard I might make a dedicated cold and dark tutorial soon, please refer to Part 1 of my other Full Flight Tutorials for guidance on how to setup the NGX, it should work with the ZIBO MOD! FD2S

[@twkster1]

Really nice video! Glad to see your use of the Zibo 737-800X. If you have not yet tried the newest version (3.24X) there are a lot of changes - and more to come. The FM is more sensitive though, and I recommend everyone who tries it spend time tuning your flight controller - what ever that may be. Whether control stick or control yoke and pedals, the control interface does at least 50% of the work and impression of flying characteristics... Welcome to XPlane!

[@twkster1]

By the way... I congratulate you on your excellent teaching technique. Simmers will enjoy the experience more if they actively manage the flight, evaluating and controlling the flight environment and evaluate the FMS/Autoflight system performance, taking appropriate action when necessary to ensure the flight path and progress of the flight. This is what a real pilot does :) Cheers

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks a lot Tim, will text 3.24x on my days off FD2S

I think you forgot (or didn't show... I think you should, for completeness) to unlock the parking brake before pushback ... During pushback the parking brake is already unlocked so you did unlock it.. Just minor detail. Everything else is really good. Thank you! Update: Just also realized you also skipped part of engine 1 starting so I guess that was intentional. It'd have been cool though to see the entire sequence.

Can you please talk in more detail about what is drawn on PFD and ND? Some output is pretty much obvious but some is not. For instance ANP/RNP.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi Andrey, That would take some explaining, there are several indications and lots of information displayed on both the PFD/ND hence why there is almost 100 pages in FCOM 2 which comes with the PMDG NGX for guidance, may I suggest you look there! FD2S

Hey nice tutorials. I love to see you on both p3d and x-plane. There is a terrain radar Implantation add on for the Zibo mod. Just type in google you’ll find it. I would love to see you on a flight with the outstanding IXEG 737-300 classic 😊 even if you don’t have a type rating for it. This plane is just amazing.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi Hans, thanks! I have the ND Terrain Plugin installed. A lot of people have asked! I am rated to fly the -300 to -MAX but I've only flown the NG. I'll give it a try at some point! FD2S

Love it mate! Really cool. Nice insight. Educational and enjoyable. Thanks!

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks Joe, glad you enjoyed it and welcome! FD2S

Great video :)

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks! FD2S

[@WolfAir737]

if you need to zoom out farther, go to settings, graphics (i think) and increase the FOV. i use 100 but i think that's up to how far your monitor is from yourself and all the factors that comes through. nice tutorial!

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi WolfAir Thanks for the info, pretty happy with the cockpit views I now have assigned. Might have a play around nonetheless! FD2S

[@kgnbrisbane]

Brilliant

[@darrenw2]

Excellent video Sir!

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks a lot Darren! FD2S

[@jcbak]

Thank-you for doing this.

[@flightdeck2sim]

NP Jack, expect more in the future! FD2S

Great video! I know studying to be a brain specialist MD is much easier.

Cracking video, I thought trying to slow the speed on decent was my finger trouble but it seems the professionals also have trouble slowing the aircraft down. How many more videos have you done? Might I suggest an approach to 090 at Gibraltar with the wind at 120 @20 gusting 25 knots. Again thanks STH

[@flightdeck2sim]

Yes descent planning is a bit of an art! I've made a few! FD2S

[@momix2000]

Best channel ever!!!! Thank you very much. Can you please do some other tutorials with the Zibo ? And tell us what do you think is different from the real aircraft? Thanks again!

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks! Please refer to pinned comment regarding my initial thoughts of FSX/XP 11 and the ZIBO/NGX. FD2S

[@mateeenkhalatbari2664]

Also, press X to turn the contrails on and off.

[@geofflangdon4467]

Great video and nice to see you on the X-Plane platform. Have followed your procedure from the PMDG and have found they work pretty much as shown on the Zibo. Anything in particular you noticed is missing (other than Fixes) or not working realistic in the Zibo?

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi Geoff I just wrote a comment which has been pinned to the top of the comments section as several people have asked! FD2S

[@aviationforlive7434]

Nice X plane 11👍🏻

[@mateeenkhalatbari2664]

one thing is that you want to have the hydraulics page on the lower display on so you can see if the flight controls are reacting to your input. remember this is not an Airbus theres no flyby wire system. lol :)

[@flightdeck2sim]

That’s actually an option by Boeing, our NG’s don’t show the position of the flight controls. We just need to ensure full and free movement 👍🏼 FD2S

[@claudemiropacheco]

Great. Now I think I might consider to take a look at xp-11

[@flightdeck2sim]

It does take some getting used to but my initial thoughts are pretty positive. Looks and feels great out the box without having to break the bank! FD2S

[@Assassin1959]

Great video...

[@aaronwhite1786]

Have you been able to help the Zibo team at all with any questions or needed support? This mod's been huge in giving me a ton of fun in X-Plane. Also, you should give the sound mod a try for the 737, it improves on the default sounds by a ton.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi Aaron, Yes I'm providing feedback to ZIBO, looking forward to watch the aircraft improve and develop! This had the Audiobird Soundpack installed, significantly better! FD2S

[@aaronwhite1786]

That's awesome! I've been loving this mod, and I just discovered your videos. It would be great to see some videos on how to do things in the Zibo mod.

Truly great to hear how you're in contact with Zibo helping him make the mod even better! I just installed XP11 and the Zibo mod a couple of days ago. Haven't had much time to play with it yet but one thing I noticed was how the range rings on the NAV display are missing when putting in fixes. IIRC this was mentioned in this clip as well. Hope that is on Zibo's fix list because I use that feature quite a lot.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Good luck and have fun! It’s still a lot of work to be done and fix rings are coming but it’s improved significantly in the last month 👍🏼 FD2S

[@aaronwhite1786]

Oh, I don't know if you've happened upon it yet. But I would definitely recommend the Better Pushback plugin for X-Plane too. It's free and lets you actually map out your pushback instead of hoping the default one doesn't push you through a building or plane.

[@aleksandarabrashev8394]

Perfect tutorial as always! Thank you for sharing this information and knowledge. Have you ever thought of flying online on VATSIM or IVAO?

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks! I’ve tried VATSIM, enjoyed it but it was difficult to communicate clearly! Will try again soon and you will get a tutorial online at some point 👍🏼

[@aleksandarabrashev8394]

Thank you for the response! I'll be looking forward to that as I'm always flying on VATSIM. I know what you mean because I also have a hard time understanding ATC and other pilots, especially if their mic is not very good quality. The software that vatsim uses for communication is very old and the sound quality is terrible compared to real ATC. Keep up the great work!
